Obasohan, the Crimson Tide's second-leading scorer who averages more than 12 points and 32 minutes per game, has missed the past two games with a hip flexor injury. He did not dress out for Thursday's loss to Florida, but wore his uniform Saturday against LSU.

Obasohan practiced Monday and is expected to do the same today, coach Anthony Grant said.

"We'll see how he reacts today in terms of the soreness and where he's at," Grant said. "We'll make a decision probably by game time."

Without Obasohan, point guard Trevor Releford has played all but six seconds in the past two games. The Crimson Tide doesn't have many options at the position without Obasohan, who regularly starts alongside Releford and plays point guard when Releford sits.

Junior-college transfer Algie Key has started in Obasohan's place but has struggled, scoring 3 points on 1-of-8 shooting in the past two games.

Grant said Alabama's training staff will be monitoring how Obasohan responds from the two practices.

"The soreness had gone down enough where he could practice yesterday. Now
it's a matter of does it get re-aggravated," Grant said. "What type of freedom of
movement does he have? Is he able to make the cuts he needs to make
without pain without the possibility of re-injuring himself? What's the
stability?

"Those types of things we have to look at before we make a
decision in terms of his availability."
